Domain Privacy

Domain privacy (also called WHOIS privacy or ID protection) is a service offered by domain registrars that replaces the domain registrant's personal contact information in the public WHOIS database with proxy information. Without domain privacy, anyone can look up your name, address, phone number, and email through a WHOIS query. Domain privacy protects against spam, identity theft, and unwanted solicitation.

While not strictly required, domain privacy is highly recommended. Without it, your personal information is publicly accessible, which can lead to spam, phishing attempts, and privacy concerns.
